It argues Iowa elections are highly secure, with low fraud and strong turnout, and calls for funding electronic poll books and multiprecinct centers rather than a new voter ID system.
The letter urges the president to fund the wall with Mexico reimbursing the cost and challenges his claims about the popular vote. It calls for a deep probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and criticizes Betsy DeVos as unqualified for education secretary, urging Iowa senators Grassley and Ernst to oppose her appointment.
Walter Williams argues that Republicans and conservatives face harsher media condemnation than Democrats and liberals after events like inaugurations. He cites Occupy protests and city crime as evidence of biased scrutiny, contrasting Tea Party behavior and urging emphasis on personal liberty and limited government.
